WELCOME

This course is for people who have shown courage in their self-exploration and are facilitating change in the world.

Together, we will explore the fundamental nature of business and consciousness.

We will learn tools that deepen our self-recognition while increasing our capacity for effective action.

INSPIRATION

I once officiated a wedding ceremony in Palo Alto. When I had finished, an older woman approached me with a group of friends. She was deeply touched by the ceremony and asked if I would marry her grandson. I explained that this was not my profession, and I would have to decline. She asked what I did for a living. I told her I was a Venture Capitalist. Her mouth fell open and her friends looked at me as if I had just levitated.

“What made my profession so shocking?” I thought. I then realized it stems from a commonly held view in our culture that business people have to forfeit their spiritual self-care to succeed, and spiritual seekers have to forfeit worldly success to develop their consciousness.

PRINCIPLES OF THE FORUM

MIND, BODY, AND HEART

The exercises and tools used in the course will focus on balancing the mind, body, and heart. Change happens when all of these components are engaged. Meditation, vulnerability, and self-inquiry practices are just some of the many tools we will explore in this balanced approach.

EXPERIENTIAL AND APPLIED LEARNING

We will spend most of our time doing exercises and applying what we learn to our current life situations. This will give you a better understanding of the power of the tools in action. It will also convey how quickly these tools can change one’s life when practiced.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL

How we treat ourselves affects how we treat others. How we treat others affects what we can accomplish. At the same time, we can’t build our vision if we don’t have the tools. That is why the course focuses on a diverse set of skills. For example, we will learn how to unravel core shame issues, create inspiring culture, and sell in a way that promotes self-discovery.

Mikey Siegel, Founder of Consciousness Hacking

WORKING WITH JOE

My work is all about understanding one’s self and encouraging authentic expression. I facilitate the journey by bringing a unique set of tools that are grounded in many psychological, neurological, and spiritual traditions. These tools focus on unwinding negative underlying patterns and tapping into our natural capacity to love and fully accept ourselves.

Nichol Bradford, CEO and Founder of Willow Group

“Joe’s approach is a unique blend of embodied direct inquiry that bypasses the intellect and story based emotions and gets right into the felt experience of the body around an inquiry in a way that leads to a powerful release.”

COMPONENTS

IN PERSON

Participants will meet in person once every quarter for six quarters. Attending all retreats will be mandatory.

VIDEO CONFERENCE PARTICIPATION

Joe will lead two video conference calls during the two month long breaks. During these calls, participants will bring to light any issues that are getting in the way of them being able to fulfill their vision for themselves and the world. Joe will bring tools to the group that facilitate the participants’ self-reliance and intra-dependence. This will be a time for exploring questions, receiving new exercises, and assignments.

ONE-ON-ONE FOLLOW UP

The course fee includes two one-on-one coaching calls directly with Joe. You may also schedule up to three additional one-on-one sessions during the course year at the reduced rate of $550/hr. These sessions are normally $650/hr and must be schedule within the 18-month timeframe. Please note, Joe is not taking any new clients at this time with the exception of course participants. During these sessions, Joe brings together his for-profit and non-profit experience with his ability to help people see through their perceived limitations.

GROUP WORK

One group will be formed using an existing online media platform for cohort support as well as one-on-one and group dialogue to stay connected. This group will support one another, hold each other accountable, and complete exercises during the two month breaks.

ONLINE BUSINESS PROGRAM

Joe is developing, with other experts, an online program that will teach effective business practices for conscious companies. You will gain free access to this program, a $999 value, at no additional cost.

Tim Shriver, Jesuit Volunteer Corps

“Joe will guide you through the depths of emotional work and call in the best spiritual and scientific traditions in a way that engages the mind, heart, and soul – all in service of your team’s personal and collective transformation in pursuit of your shared mission.”

APPLICATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE SUMMER 2018

Due to the intimate nature of this work, we will be limiting the space to 14 participants per cohort. The group will be thoughtfully curated. Participation in a previous workshop, such as Tide Turners, is required to apply for the Earth Shakers Forum.

Early applications are appreciated as it allows us time to consider all participants during the formation of the group.

The ideal participant will have done a considerable amount of internal work, have their own gifts to offer the group, and have reached into the world through their organization, network, financial capacity, or art.
